奇怪的事情英语作文

篇一：“奇怪”的英语表达

1. Hit the nail on the head

钉钉子的时候，一定是要用锤子敲在钉子帽上，才能把钉子打进去。上面这个短语借助了钉钉子的生活常识来比喻“说话中肯，一针见血”。

例：He hit the nail on the head with that analysis.

他的那些分析一针见血。

2. Word for word

学舌也好，翻译也罢，能够将来龙去脉字字句句说个明白，那绝对是个人才，准得没商量！

例：She repeated their conversation word for word to me.

她把他们的谈话一字不差地跟我学了一遍。

3. On the button

这个短语源于拳击比赛，表示击中对手的下巴，而现在是指“准确无误”。

例：Your guess was (right) on the button.

你猜得太准了。

当然，你也可以用它来形容时间上很准。

例：They arrived at noon on the button.

他们正午准点抵达。

4. Cut it/things fine

说到时间上准确，还有一个词可以表示能掐会算，把时间拿捏到没有富余，刚刚好把事情做完。

例：If we don't leave till after lunch we'll be cutting it very fine.

如果我们不是等到午饭后才走，时间就刚好来得及。

5. Through and through

有种神准是因为你把事情了解得透透哒~ 这种彻彻底底，完完全全就可以用through and through来表示。

例：I know him through and through, and he would never do such a cowardly thing. 我太了解他了，他绝不会做这种卑鄙的事！

I looked around.Most people were looking out of the windows and some were sleeping.Suddenly，a little boy behind me，stood up and made room for the woman.She said Thank you very much with a big smile.The boy smiled，too.When I told my cousin about it after that，he said The child is the father of a man.

篇五：英语作文

1 The Pleasures and Pains of Childhood

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do.It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvellous adventure.

But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are: he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.

1童年的快乐和痛苦

童年的时候你不需要履行什么责任,所以说你的生活不会很艰难.如果一个孩子有好的父母,那无论他做什么他都有的吃,会受到别人的爱护和照顾.很可能在他的生命中不会再有这样的机会:从别人那儿得到那么多而不需要付出任何回报.除此之外,生活总是给孩子们展现一些新的东西.而大人对这些东西已经失去了兴趣.因为他们对这些东西全部了解.小孩在雨雪中玩的时候都能够找到快乐,到海滨的第一次旅游也会是一次奇妙的经历.

但是小孩子也有他们的痛苦:他们不能按照他们希望的方式去做事.不断会有人告诉他哪些事情不能做,他们做错了事就会受到惩罚.因此他的生活也不完全是快乐的.

You can ask questions like these: What duties will I have to do in the job? Does the company provide health insurance? Does the company provide opportunities for further education?

2在面试中如何去表现

为了在面试中留下好的印象,你需要做好准备.你必须提前足够的时间到达面试现场.这样的话你会有时间在面试之前放松一下自己. 你走进房间时留下的印象非常重要,你应该试图去找出这家公司或者组织对于穿戴有没有规定,然后根据他们的规定来进行穿戴.

在面试中你也允许问一些问题.你询问问题会使面试者感到你对这个职位进行了深入的思考.你可以问以下这几个问题:我工作的职责是什么公司提供健康保险吗公司提供进修的机会吗

一个大超市做的生意很大.除了食物以外,很多其他的商品比如说家庭用具学校办公用品、玩具、衣服、杂志甚至书在超市中都有销售.超市是家庭主妇经常去的地方.它试图满足家庭主妇们的需求.这样的话当她们离开时就不会到其他地方去买东西.

超市现在变得越来越流行.毫无疑问,将来会有越来越多的家庭主妇站在超市的购物线上.

4 Should College Students Do Part-time Jobs?

Most students think that doing part-time jobs when studying at college can provide them with an opportunity to get in touch with the society.

(转 载于:wWw.SmHaIDA.cOM 海达 范文 网:奇怪的事情英语作文)

Also, some students do part-time jobs to support themselves. They are said to work through college.

However, it’s not easy to find jobs which are suitable for students. Some jobs requiring long hours of tedious work under tough conditions may do harm to their health. Besides, some jobs may expose them to the negative aspects of society-dishonesty and corruption.

Therefore, students should take a second thought in deciding whether they should do part-time jobs or what kind of jobs they should choose. If they are lucky enough to take a good job, it will benefit them enormously. Otherwise, it may waste their time and their energy.

4大学生是否应该做兼职工作

大部分的学生认为在大学里学习的时候做兼职工作可以给自己提供一个接触社会的机会.还有一些学生做兼职工作是为了养活自己.据说他们整个大学都在工作.

但是,对于大学生来说找到一份合适的工作是不容易的.有些工作条件艰苦并且需要花大量时间的单调的工作对他们的健康有害.除此之外,有些工作会让大学生接触到社会的负面---虚伪和堕落.

因此,大学生在决定是否应该做兼职工作以及应该选择什么样的工作的时候要再三考虑.如果他们很幸运的找到了一份好的工作,那将对他们大有裨益.否则那可能是浪费时间和精力.

7 Living in a City-a Crazy Idea

Tired of the city life, some city-dwellers opt for city suburbs as their residence. They are flocking there to avoid people-in the city, wherever you look, it’s people, people, people.

It’s not strange for them complain about the living conditions in the city. It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads

has virtually come to a standstill. The subways which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed: an endless procession of human sardine tins. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium. Tall buildings blot out the sun. The flow of traffic goes on continuously and the noise never stops.

Decades of years ago, people were crazy about crowding into the city. Now more and more people believe that only a madman would choose to live in a large modern city.

7居住在城市里面---一个疯狂想法

因为对城市生活感到厌倦.一些住在城里面的人都渴望搬到郊区居住.他们涌向那儿目的是为了避开人群.因为在城里无论你往哪儿看到处都是人.

人们抱怨城里面的居住条件是不奇怪,由于马路上的交通几乎停滞,公共汽车似乎要过几年才能到达你身边.几分钟一班的地铁装满了人.无休止的人排队买沙丁鱼罐头.所有简单好的东西象阳光、新鲜的空气都成了一种奢求.高大的建筑挡住了阳光,交通川流不息,噪声从不停止.

几十年前人们疯狂的涌入城市,现在越来越多的人认为只有疯子才会居住在现代大都市里.

8 Career Hopping

Today, growing numbers of men and women are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that have greater appeal to them. Many of those who find that their work is unsatisfactory retrain themselves for a different occupation.

Job changes and careers shifts occur at all ages. It is estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty and twenty-five change their lines of work. About half that number do so between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four. Some married women combine child-rearing responsibilities with new career lines.

Motives for changing careers vary widely, but many people move because they feel bored with the dull routine. For some, a second start grows out of the realization that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do what they enjoy. Most go back to school to get the training they need to make the shifts.

8跳槽

今天,越来越多的人正在跳槽,而在对他们更有吸引力的其他行业重新开始.很多觉得自己工作不太满意的人都会对自己重新培训来从事一份不同的工作.

换工作,换职业在所有年龄段都会发生.据调查,有四分之一的男性工人在二十到二十五岁之间都会选择跳槽.大约有八分之一的人在二十五岁到四十四岁之前选择跳槽,有些已婚妇女会把照顾孩子的责任和新的行业连在一起.

人们跳槽的原因多种多样.但很多人跳槽是因为对于单调的日常工作感到厌烦.对于有些人来说,跳槽完全是处于意识到从他们现在所从事的工作当中无法得到他们所想要的.所以他们决定做他们喜欢做的工作.大部分人会重新回到学校,接受跳槽所需要的培训.

9 The Young and the Old

When the young man starts to earn his own living,he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.

Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.

9年轻人和老人

当年青人开始谋生时,他就不受学校纪律和父母的约束了.但同时他也被迫接受许多责任.他不必再指望别人给他提供食物、衣服和住所，但如果他想舒服地生活就必须工作.如果他还像过去小时候那样度日,他就会挨饿.如果他像过去破坏父母的规矩那样破坏社会的规定,他就可能被送入监狱.但如果他努力工作,没有麻烦,健康状况好,他就会看到自己在工作中不断进步,在社会中建立自己的地位,并且从中获得快乐.

老年总是被人们认为是最差的年龄段,但老人也不一定就不快乐.老人年龄增长,他们就具备了帮助别人,向别人提出建议的能力和智慧.老人看到他们的孩子在生活中不断进步会感到开心,他们可以看着他们的孩子成长,可能最好的事情就是如果的生活很有意义,他们可以感受安然度过生命斗争的喜悦,并且他们已经到了躺下来休息让别人去继续生命斗争的时候了.

10 Electricity and Our Life

Since its invention, electricity has found wide applications in industry, agriculture and scientific research. It is so essential to our daily life that, without electricity, we could not enjoy modern comforts because home appliances would not function. Without electricity, we could not cook food, wash clothes and watch TV.

Roughly, there are three ways to save electricity. First, we should produce electricity-saving home appliances. Second, remember to turn off the light when you leave a room. Lastly, we should change our way of life. Avoid as much as possible the “artificial life” powered by electricity.

10电和我们的生活

自从发明之后,电已经被广泛运用到工业、农业以及科学研究当中.电对我们的生活非常重要,没有电我们就无法享受现代生活的舒适;因为家用电器都无法工作.没有电我们就无法烧饭、洗衣服、看电视.

一般说来节约用电有三种方式.第一,我们应该生产节能的家用电器.第二,离开房间时记住关掉灯.最后,我们应该改变我们的生活方式,尽可能避免电能为基础的人造生活.

11 Turn off Your Mobile Phone

With the development of information technology and reduced price of communication products, the mobile phone has become a necessity for people. It is obvious that it shortens the distance between people and makes our life more convenient. Thanks to it, it’s easy for us to contact others anytime and anywhere.

However, have you noticed that the mobile phone also brings embarrassment to people? It’s not rare to see people pressing the mobile phone to his ear and shouting loudly in public as if there were no one else present. It is more than likely that you have noticed that the mobile phones ring continuously on a formal occasion. People around them have to listen to the noise and they can’t concentrate on what they’re doing.

11关闭你的手机

随着信息技术的发展以及通信产品价格的下降,手机已成为人们的必需品.虽然它缩短了人与人之间的距离,使生活更加方便,正因为有了手机,我们可以很容易地在任何时间和地点和他人联系.

但是,你有没有发现手机也给人们带来了尴尬?把手机贴在耳边在公共场合大叫大喊,似乎无人在场,这种现象也不罕见.在正式场合手机铃声响个不停的现象更是屡见不鲜.他们周围的人不得不忍受他的噪音无法集中精神做事.

12 A Healthy Lifestyle

Dear James,

I am glad to get your letter. Do you still feel stressful? As far as I know, a lot of people live in a way that is wearing themselves out. In fact, life doesn’t have to be like that. It is wise to bear an important principle in your mind-managing time. To make it simple, decide what you want in your life, and put that first. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life, just do it! Take a nap, or a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have –to-dos.

Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. Anyhow, we should do something for ourselves. I hope you can manage your life! Stay cool!

Yours faithfully,

Linda

12健康的生活方式

亲爱的詹姆斯,

收到你的来信很开心.你还觉得很压抑吗?据我所知,许多人的生活方式让自己筋疲力尽.实际上生活不必那样.在头脑中坚守一条原则---合理安排时间---是明智的.简单地说,把你生活中想要的排在第一位.无论什么,只要让你感到开心就去做吧.腾出时间打个盹或者走一走.花点时间弹钢琴,不要把你的公文包带回家.用你想做的事情去充塞你的时间而不是用你不得不做的事.

我们每个人都必须做出选择,接受休息.无论如何,我们应该为我们自己做些事.我希望你能够控制自己的生活,保持清醒的头脑.

你的

琳达

13 Education-Preparation for Society

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life.

Because of the development in modern education, many people avail of the opportunities to receive college education. But there are not enough positions for people with university degrees. Besides, some graduates refuse to do what they think “low” jobs-work with hands is thought to

be indecent.

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us should do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, that we must realize that all jobs are necessary to society.

13教育为社会做准备

教育不是目的,而是达到目的的手段.换句话说,我们不是为了教育孩子而教育他们,我们的目的是让他们适应生活.

由于现代教育的发展,许多人获得了接受大学教育的机会.但是获得大学学位的人却没有足够的岗位.此外,有些毕业生拒绝做他们认为低等的工作---手工工作被认为是不得体的.

实际上,当我们说所有人都必须接受教育,意思是我们应该按照以下方式接受教育:第一,我们每个人都应该做适合我们大脑和能力的工作;第二,我们必须意识到所有工作对社会都是必须的.

14 Making a Phone Call or Writing a Letter

When there is a need to communicate with people, we either make a phone call or write a letter. Some people like making a phone call while others prefer writing a letter.

The advantage of phoning is evident. It is handy and fast. We can contact whomever we want to and talk with him right away. By making phone calls, people can discuss things as if they were in the same room. However, there are still some people who prefer to write letters. There is no doubt that letters are less expensive

than long-distance calls. Besides it is a better choice for those who are not good at expressing themselves orally. However, it takes days, even weeks for a letter to reach its destination.

Both making a phone call and writing a letter are effective means of communication. It seems advisable to make use of them both on different occassions.

14打电话还是写信

当我们需要与他人联系时,我们或者打电话,或者写信.有些人喜欢打电话而其他人喜欢写信.

打电话的好处是显而易见的.它易操作又快捷.我们可以立刻联系到我们想要联系的人并与之通话.通过打电话,人们可以像在同一个房间里讨论问题.但是还是有些人喜欢写信.毫无疑问,写信比打长途电话要便宜.同时对于那些不善口头表达的人来说写信是更好的选择.但是一封信要到达目的地要花几天甚至几周.

打电话和写信都是有效的交流方式,我们建议应该在不同的场合使用这两种不同的方式.
